The Coral Gables Farmers Market, now in its 21st season, is designed as a small outdoor European-style green market, with historic Coral Gables City Hall as a backdrop.

South Florida produce available at the market includes bananas, chilies, citrus, corn, cucumbers, eggplants, herbs, honey, lettuce, miniature vegetables, onions, peppers, potatoes, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, and a wide variety of plants and trees to purchase. Bake goods and gourmet specialty foods are also available.
